Ten open questions about autumn: the best and worst of the season, autumn smells, music for rainy days, traditions and your autumn bucket list. Read each question, pause the video and answer out loud.
Ten questions about autumn, one at a time, with a pause after each to answer out loud. They start with the easy ones - what you like and dislike about the season - and move on to questions that need more than one word: what springs to mind when you think of autumn, how the season affects your mood, where you would go if you could travel anywhere.
- What are the three best things about autumn?
- What do you dislike about fall?
- What smells remind you of autumn?
- What springs to mind when you think of autumn?
- What do you have on your autumn bucket list?
- What is the best music for dark, rainy days?
- How does autumn affect your mood?
- Do you have any autumn traditions or celebrations you look forward to?
- How do you keep yourself busy on a gloomy autumn day?
- If you could travel anywhere for autumn, where would you go?
The level is A2-B1, for teenagers and adults. Three phrases are worth a word before you press play: springs to mind means comes into your head at once, a bucket list is the things you really want to do, and a gloomy day is dark and grey. Keep the pattern of answer, one detail, question back - and you? - and ten prompts turn into a conversation instead of a round of short replies. For lower-level groups, the Autumn Speaking Cards on this page have simpler questions to print. More conversation questions by level: A2 and B1.
